ORLANDO, FLA.—Canadian Will Johnson signed a two-year contract with Major League Soccer’s Orlando City SC on Wednesday.
Johnson had two goals and five assists in 29 matches, including 20 starts, last season with Toronto FC. He helped Toronto reach the MLS final before it lost 5-4 to Seattle in a shootout.
Johnson, a Toronto native, is a 10-year MLS veteran. His deal with Orlando City includes an option for a third season.
“We’re thrilled to add Will to the team,” Lions general manager Niki Budalic said in a statement. “He’s a proven and accomplished MLS player that knows the league and (head coach Jason Kreis’s) system very well from their time at Real Salt Lake.
